I want to make a joke about Phoenix Wright, but my brain is spasming with JOY.
Oh my god! YOU GUYS, I WIN AT LIIIFE.
Just got an answer back from the Youth for Jewish Law organization, an independent benefactor committee whatsit that funds university scholarships for the noble cause of urging more Jewish kids to be lawyers. Or something.
GUESS WHO GOT ACCEPTED.
Basically, it's a national project which has its own megama, independent of the educational system, that hand-picks the top students in high schools throughout the country. These students attend a special annual course at their local university--Law 101 (toar rishon). Seriously. Academic-level teaching, with lecturers and assignments and everything. The megama is exclusively 5-unit--no 3 or 4 option--and includes two bagruyot, in 11th and 12th grade respectively. It doesn't actually let you get a B.A. in Law by the time you're 18, but it is very, very interesting and prestigious as hell.
Or, in other words, I get to go to the Tel-Aviv University and study Law 101 after school. An honest-to-god three years' worth of university studies in Lawyerdom, whut. I get a shitload of fascinating knowledge, a shitload of academic prestige, and a diploma to prove it's all, heh, legal. HOW AM I SO AMAZING?
In the eternal words of Bono Vox: you fuckers, don't ask me to be humble on this night. ♥
